Sitcom vehicle for Don Rickles and his brand of humor that wouldn't go over today. He was a naval officer in charge insulting to his multi-ethnic crew but had a loving interior, just like his stage persona.

For those unfamiliar with the way he was on talk shows, here's an earlier article from MAD.

Like the other MAD article here it was made well before this show but his act was much funnier.
